Most high-intensity bouts of exercise in volleyball consist jumping activities, which are responsible for inducing muscle damage, high levels fatigue, and soreness. Therefore, the aim current study was to quantify analyze training loads, neuromuscular perceptual well-being a 5-week in-season mesocycle carried out by professional male team.Fifteen players (age 28.51 [5.39] y; height 193.19 [9.87] cm; body mass 88.46 [13.18] kg) participated this study. Internal load assessed through rating...

The aim of the present study was (a) to describe anthropometric profile a large group soccer players based on different age groups and their playing positions field, (b) examine variations body composition among adult using diverse equations skinfold thickness. A total 618 Greek who were grouped by (i.e., 12–14, 14–16, 16–18, 18–37 years) position goalkeeper, defender, midfielder, forward) evaluated for weight, height, skinfolds. Pařízková formula used estimate percentage fat. Furthermore,...

The purposes of this study were to (1) analyze the variations acute and chronic training load well-being measures during 3 periods season (early, mid, end) (2) test associations between weekly different season.Thirteen professional volleyball players from a team competing in Portuguese Volleyball First Division (age 31.0 [5.0] y) monitored an entire season. Weekly (wAL) (wCL), workload ratio (wACWL), monotony (wTM) calculated all weeks values muscle soreness (wDOMS), stress (wStress),...

Abstract The purpose of this pilot study was to assess the types and intensity jumps that professional male volleyball players executed. Seven elite participated in study. sample composed 1599 performed 15 sets five official matches regular season a team. A descriptive design implemented analyze jump heights by particular playing positions (outside hitters, setter, middle blockers). height recorded using an inertial measurement device. No significant differences were found between matches....

The purpose of this study was twofold: (i) characterize the external and internal training load professional volleyball players with a focus on intra-week changes (ii) test relationships between measures. Eight male (age: 23.0±5.22 yo; body mass: 84.5 ± 7.58 kg; height: 193.0±9.71 cm; BMI: 22.0±0.02 kg/m2) were monitored daily over 15 weeks. monitoring process included both (rate perceived exertion [RPE] session-RPE [s-RPE]) variables, which measured by an inertial measurement unit. Results...

The purpose of this study was three-fold: (i) to test the between-sessions variability 3 vs. and 6 formats in under-11 players, (ii) assess within-session formats, (iii) investigate variations technical actions between formats. Sixteen soccer players (10.1 ± 0.3 years old) participated study. Both play were played twice within an interval one week between-session variables conquered balls (CBs), received (RBs), lost (LBs), attacking balls/passes (ABs) shots (Ss) analyzed using Performance...

The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationships between anthropometric (height and weight), fitness status (aerobic capacity, Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test – level 1, YYIRT-L1; countermovement jump performance, CMJ) perceived exertion (RPE) twenty youth (under-14 under-16) male basketball players their technical actions (attacking balls-AB, shots-S, received balls-RB, rebounds-R, conquered balls-CB, lost balls-LB) during five small-sided games (SSGs) formats (from 1v1 5v5)....

The purpose of this study was to analyse the variations technical actions and efficacy national teams' volleyball players according their sex playing positions. included 8,541 rallies played in 74 matches (37 for each sex, 2018 European Volleyball Golden League). variables studied were: (male or female), player role (outside-hitter, middle-blocker, opposite), points scored by attackers, errors done obtained attackers side-out phase (or break-point phase), serves executed, serve (error,...

Abstract The purpose of this study was to use an inertial measurement unit (IMU) analyze variations in the jump outcomes concerning weekly training days, and dependencies between number jumps per minute height. An experimental research design adopted across three weeks final play-off a volleyball championship. Through IMU, external load seven male elite athletes top rating team from Portuguese 1st Division (age: 30.5 ± 3.5 years; height: 200.2 6.3 cm; body mass: 93.0 8.1 kg; BMI: 23.1 2.3...

Purpose The study was intended to describe the correlations between speed performance (11 m, 22 and 33 m) agility test in skates with determinants of muscular power (squat jump, countermovement jump) young Portuguese roller hockey athletes involved a regional selection. Methods A cross-sectional conducted among 10 male players mean (± SD) age 14.20 (0.57) years, national competition under-15, making part final Oporto district selection participate inter-regional selections competition. Their...

Abstract Introduction. This was a cross-sectional study aiming to test the reliability of new reactive agility designed for youth volleyball players improve both reaction time and hand-eye coordination. Material methods. Twenty-four athletes (15 girls 9 boys) were recruited participate in this (age: 11.58 ± 2.20 years old). used FitLight Trainer (FITLIGHT Sport Corp., Ontario, Canada), wireless system using interconnected light-powered sensors, measure The subjects performed coordination...

Abstract The aim of this study was twofold: i) to compare the rate perceived exertion (RPE) and frequencies technical actions per minute in different small-sided games (SSGs) between under-14 under-16 age groups, ii) RPE 1 x 1, 2 2, 3 3, 4 5 formats within groups. Twenty young male basketball players from same club (N = 10, under-14; N under-16) competing at national level voluntarily participated study. Five SSGs (1 5) were played twice on courts relative area compared terms actions. number...

Abstract The aims of this study were: (i) to describe weekly variations acute load (AL), acute:chronic workload ratio, delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), and fatigue; (ii) analyze well-being in three periods the season (P1, P2, P3); (iii) relationships between measures. Fifteen professional basketball players from a first-league European club were monitored throughout using CR-10 Borg scale Hooper questionnaire. Weekly AL ratio (ACWR) calculated for monitoring internal load. In addition,...
